Hospitals participating in the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting program have until March 1 to preview their performance and correct any errors on the new Medicare spending per beneficiary measurement, according to an AHA News Now report.
CMS plans to include the measure in the value-based purchasing program, which is set to go live Oct. 1. The Medicare spending per beneficiary measure looks at Medicare Part A and Part B payments provided to Medicare beneficiaries from three days before an inpatient admission to 30 days after discharge, according to the report.
Hospitals can download their hospital-specific reports at My QualityNet.
